The article deals with architecture and EHRs on a conceptual and philosophical level. Architecture is seen as the essential human expression of being, exemplified through the thoughts and writings of the German architect Gottfried Semper, the American architect Philip Johnson and the German philosopher Martin Heidegger. It is the assumption of the article that the current versions of EHR architectures are the result of a technical and systemic perspective on architecture, as opposed to the thoughts of Semper, Johnson and Heidegger. The article has a value-based and phronetic approach to the topic field, and claims that construction of EHRs should be a matter of concern, and not, as it is for now, a matter of fact.

Background: Central line-associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI) causes significant harm in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) patients. However, data regarding risk factors and prevention strategies for CLABSI in NICU patients is limited.
Objective: To examine risk factors for CLABSI in a NICU population, with particular interest in central line type and site placement.
Background: At one institution, a clinical decision support (CDS) alert for venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis burdened providers but was considered vital to patient safety. Electronic clinical quality measures (eCQMs) incentivized the translation of quality measures into data elements within the electronic health record (EHR) and facilitated hospitalwide performance monitoring during CDS improvement. The aim was to reduce VTE alerts by 50% without compromising eCQM performance.
